Mais bien sûr que l'origine est française. Cela devient patent aussitôt qu'on juxtapose les deux orthographes. Bogorm 18:58, 30 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

bourgeon#English ?

Webster's Dictionary of 1913 lists bourgeon as the main spelling and burgeon as the alternative one (burgeon”, in Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary, Springfield, Mass.: G. & C. Merriam, 1913, →OCLC.bourgeon”, in Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary, Springfield, Mass.: G. & C. Merriam, 1913, →OCLC.). Is there any particular reason why bourgeon#English has not yet been created? Would it be appropriate to do so? Bogorm 18:54, 30 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

It seems fine to me. It merits at least an alt spelling. Is it dated? DCDuring Holiday Greetings! 21:07, 30 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Usage note

No good reason exists to avoid it in this figurative sense, but the word preferably refers to growth at early stages, not to full-blown expansion --Backinstadiums (talk) 19:34, 18 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
